Prometheus S.M.A.R.T ctl metrics exporter

This is a simple exporter for the Prometheus metrics using smartctl. The script smartprom.py also comes with smartprom.service so that you can run this script in the background on your Linux OS via systemctl. The script will use port 9902, you can change it by changing it directly in the script. This script exports all of the data available from the smartctl.

Docker image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/matusnovak/prometheus-smartctl

Install

Note: You don't have to do this if you use the Docker image.

1. Copy the smartprom.service file into /etc/systemd/system folder.
2. Copy the smartprom.py file anywhere into your system.
3. Modify ExecStart= in the smartprom.service so that it points to smartprom.py in your system.
4. Run chmod +x smartprom.py
5. Install prometheus_client for the root user, example: sudo -H python3 -m pip install prometheus_client
6. Run systemctl enable smartprom and systemctl start smartprom
7. Your metrics will now be available at http://localhost:9902

Docker usage

No extra configuration needed, should work out of the box. The privileged: true is needed because then smartctl can't access drvies from the host.
